10/10
Anto’s was a last minute decision on my way home from Chicago to the Upper Peninsula and will now be my stop every visit. The atmosphere was welcoming, our waiter was extremely kind and helpful, bring water after water as we chatted and drank. We ordered 3 different dishes and all were delicious, from the ricotta cheese to the fresh basil, every bite got better!

The manager or whoever was one of the rudest I ever encountered. My pizza was an hour late and they lost contact with the driver. His literal words were "What do you want me to do about it?" I hung up on him and the co-worker called back offering to send a new order if we PAID for another one. These guys lost my business forever after that.
ADDENDUM: RESPONSE TO OWNER:
Oh, wow. Way to gaslight me, my friend. You didn't offer complimentary anything. That would have been a solution to much if not most of my angst. Whether it was the third party deliver service's "fault" or not, you made no effort to apologize for the situation or show any empathy for it. You were dismissive and crass, making no attempt to appease your customer. Even if it was the delivery person's fault, you handled the situation and communicated poorly. Almost any other place would have offered a coupon or at least APOLOGIZED. You just got on your high horse and denied fault like the most toxic of privileged males.
Also, if you want to prove that you weren't being rude, I wouldn't make condescending statements like "Everybody knows that", which in itself as rude and dismissive as you were that day.
You did this to yourself.

I am impressed with the quality of the food. I was on vacation in Chicago and New York, I visited many restaurants, but I ate the most delicious food at the "Anto Pizza and Pasta" restaurant. Thank you for the excellent service and great food. ☺️

Used to order the baked wings all the time and it seems like they are now frying them which sucks because the wings were my favorite really hope you can go back to the original wings

We've had our eye on this place for a while, though it definitely leans toward the pricier side—$32 for a 16-inch pizza. We opted for the prosciutto, arugula, and mozzarella pizza, although it was disappointing to find barely any mozzarella on it. A touch of tomato sauce as a base would have elevated the flavors. Also, a gentle request to respect the art of pizza: please avoid cutting it into a hundred pieces—6 to 8 slices would suffice, as most would expect. That being said, the pizza tasted quite good, with a nice crisp to the crust, and the prosciutto and arugula were generously portioned.

Thank you Rafe for wonderful service. Absolutely loved it ?
We had a very cozy evening at Anto Pizza and Pasta. The food was super tasty. You could bring your own alcoholic drinks as none were sold. The tiramisu at the end was also very tasty.

Stopped for a late lunch. Quick to get seated. Kind gentleman faintly resembling Chuck Schumer with an Italian accent very welcoming in an easy laid back style.
Outdoor sidewalk seating shading us from hot sun. Food came quickly. Thin crust pepperoni pizza the best I’ve had in a very very long time. Fantastic sauce, even better dough. Soo thin and crispy—all homemade. Meatballs very good portion (though I prefer Sicilian style with the currants). I do wish the carbonara was more eggy and cheesy (was it made with cream?)Homemade pastas and stuffed pastas delicious. You’ve got to try the vodka sauce—so delish! And end the meal with tiramisu (family recipe)—you can taste the mascarpone! A delightful lunch experience! Thank you!
